~, upon the body Of John B. BushilI, there
lying dead, by the jurors whose names are
hereunto subscribed, the said jurors upon
their oaths do say that said John B. Bushill,

examination Of the homicide. On yester
terday. Thursday, Jaggers had prelimin
AIRY examination before Justice Meade a,
Bannack. A number Of the best citizen.

went to prove that Jaggers acted in selfdc

men "weaken" in that town, and turning t.

neous. Jaggers escaped unhurt Bushi
received = fatal wound in the upper part

e Bushill was the assailant, and that in hun
S ing his man he met his death. AT It

!, homicide was justifable, having been con
mitted in self defense.
!. James Jaggers is we'll known at Gle1

W0mans Suffrage.

The swelling Of the ranks of igno-
raLt voters and the consequent effect
upon result were trivial compared
with the disturbing theme introduced
into domestic life for days preceding
the trial of the contest, and compar-
ed with the bitterness engendered in
divided households. The depression
of defeat as depicted in the faces of
the women on the losing side and the
rancor springing from It's conscious
ness are not more deplorsble than the
~unwomanly exultation of those vic
torious. Divisions have been invited
in church congregations, enmities
have come up in social circles, and
the well-springs of charity in many in
stances have been dried up.
The most deplorable fact, however,
tie GROWING evil, has been the at
tacks on femala regulations, made in
the ruthless zeal Of the heat of the
campaign--attacks reviving forgotten
ln%sinuations and hopelessly s%mirching
the good name Of respected wives
and mothers. This was not only the
work OF the more ignorant, bit an
APOSTLE of the suffrage movement in
this State. in an interview with the
World correspondent, indicated par
ticular women whose political activi-
ty had offended her and boosted that
she held evidence of their fall from
virtue. The boast was coupled with
the most sweeping generalization Of
the Righteousness of the upper cir
Giles, whose political preferences ar
rayed them against her. The conclusion
adduceable is that while female suf-
ffage may be practicable in the rural
districts of M~ay-pole simplicity Its
advantages when applied to the in
tensity of q municipal contest are
very questionable.

ONE of the most earnest anu
worthy appeals ever made to the
pubiic-sririled citizens Of Mexico and
Audrain county is now advanced by
the friends of Hardin College through
their committee for u chapel for this
institution. which is the pride of this
part Of the State. Ex-Gov. Hardin
has done every thing for this college,
which has done much for the ad-
vaucement of Mexico, not to include
the grand educational work accom-
p,ished. We think the friends of the
college. Of its founder, Of education
and Mexico should promptly come to
the front and see that the chapel
matter is attended to. The chapel
must and will be built. The way to
build it is to build it. Don't let the
matter drag along longer. Mexico
people, when they undertake any
thing, speak through the work &C.
complished. Don't allow this most
important enterprise to be al exeep-
| ton.

Senator Vest.


1t is rather strange that George
Vest is about the only Missourian
who has cut any figure at Washing
ton since Tom Benton. The Senator
has had an interesting career. He
was scarcely known across the Dor,
ders of Missouri before he went 10
the national capital, yet over 80 years
ago he vas something of Il power
among his neighbors. They sent him
to the confederate senate in the early
days of the war. Mr.. Vest likes a
song well sung or q tale we'll told,
and the man that can do either is
more to his fancy than one who can
only clip coupons when interest day
comes round. Naturally, he has
grown with his constituents, and he
probably has as many followers in
Missouri as any other public man in
the State.

An old Mexico boy, living IN Iowa,
but las still II warn spot in his heart
for this city, sends tho LEDGER this
bit of boom poetry:
"Tell me not in m%ournful num-
bers that the town is full of gloom,
for the mans a crank who slumbers
in these days OF boom. Life is real,
life is earnest, and the grave is not
its goal, every dollar that thou turn
est helps to make the old town roll.
But enjoyment and not sorrow is our
destined end and way; if you have
no money, horrow-huy a corner lot
each day. Lives of great men all re-
remind US we ear win immortal fame;
let us leave the chumps behind us,
and we'll get there jus. the same. In
this worlds broad field of battle, in
the bivoac of life let us make the dry
bones rattle-buy a corner lot fol
wife. Let us then be up and doing
with a heart for any fate, still achiev.
